In general I find that the presenter is knowledgeable but has crammed way too much information into this 4 hour session. He has to skip many slides as he goes, simply explaining that there’s no time to go over the information presented. This approach to presenting frustrates me… a lot!

The redeeming element for me was the part when he lugged out a literal ton of medical reference books and let us muck about in them, pointing out the various features and drawbacks as we went. This was really useful to me as I haven’t put my hands on most of these resources, but am in a position to consider whether or not to purchase them. Did you know that the PDR is a total work of crap? I had no idea, I am glad to be enlightened now.

Also, the session counted for 4 CE credits toward a Consumer Health Information Specialist certificate with MLA. Y’all know I love to collect shiny degrees and certificates…
